Save a Life
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The American Heart Association recently made significant changes to CPR guidelines in order to save more lives and make it easier for the layperson to understand the guidelines. The major change to the guidelines is the increase in chest thrusts to breath ratio.
This change to make CPR easier to understand is important considering the national average of percentage of people in major US cities trained in CPR is 5%. I feel strongly that every parent be trained in CPR. But it is a skill for everyone to master, you never know when someone may rely on you to save their life.
And now there is no excuse not to learn CPR, it’s as easy as it’s ever been! See this link to find a CPR class near you www.americanheart.org
